Decatur Commodores Score 53-51 Win Over Rockcreek Wednesday

Coming from behind in the final minutes of the game, the Decatur Catholic Commodores edged out a 53 to 51 victory over the Rockcreek' Dddgers at Bluffton Wednesday night. It was their fifth win in six games. After trailing from one to nine points during most of the game, the Decatur boys managed to eke out a few extra points in the final minutes to tie the score and then push ahead, hanging on to the slim victory margin. Once again the free throw line was the major factor in a Commodore win. The local team connected on two more charity tosses than their opponents. Each team put through 21 field goals but Decatur collected 11 times on 18 attempts at the foul line while Rockcreek converted nine out of 17 tries. Ten fouls were called on Commodores and the Dodgers committed 11. A free throw hy Rockcreek’s Roberts at the beginning of the game was followed with a Com- ♦ modore field goal by Ron Meyer. Then a field goal by Stauffer put Rockcreek in front, where they stayed until midway in the last quarter. However, the Commodore group stayed hot on their heels during the entire game and the Dodgers had to struggle to keep their lead. They put 14 points through the hoop to the Commodore’s seven during the first period of play. During the second period the Decatur team cut dpwn the lead by scoring 13 points and holding hock creek to 10 for a halftime Happy Is The Day When Backache Goes Away....

Two quick field goals by Joe Wilder early in that quarter provided the spark the team needed to stay in the game. The third stanza featured a steady exchange of field goals with Stauffer, Rockcreek’s tall center, doing most of the work for the Dodgers. He was responsible for 10 of the 17 points by Rockcreek in that period. A balanced Commodore attack brought in 16 markers and the Wells county team still held a five point lead goiqg into the final quarter. Until about the middle of the 1/st quarter Decatur allowed Rockcreek only two free throw points while they utilized the opportunity to even up the score, 43 to 43. The lead then teetered for a few minutes. With a little more than a minute to go Rockcreek had a four point lead but free throws by Wilder and a shot from the field by Reed tied it up again 51 to 51. In the last half minute a (Rockcreek basket was ruled no good because of travelling. The ball came back to the Commodore end add Faurote tossed in the winning field goal.

Basilio Keeps Weller Crown By Knockout BOSTON (INS) — Carmen Basilio retained his welterweight crown at the Boston Garden Wednesday night in the same way he won it last June—with a 12th round TKO of Tony DeMarco. The Canastota, N. Y., champion was trailing on all three officials’ cards in his first title defense when he floored DeMarco for the second time and referee Mel Manning stopped the bout at 1:54, A crowd of 13,373 and a nationwide television audience earlier saw DeMarco felled for an eightcount. get up groggily and then go down under a left and right at almost the exact point their June bout ended. And it all came about in much the same manner. DeMarco rocked the champion in the third, fourth, seventh and eighth rounds with whistling blasts to the chin. In the latter two rounds. Basilio appeared on the verge of being kayoed, something he’s never experienced. But Boston’s little giant, who’s never lost over the full route in his home cits punched himself out on Basilio's jaw while absorbing a less spectacular but more deadly beating about the body. The champion, who had taken a few unsteady steps in the seventh and eighth, started coming back in the ninth round of the scheduled 15-rounder. He took over in the 10th and gave the arm-weary ex-t’itleholder a solid thrashing—Just as he had done last June 10. Manning stopped the fight at precisely the right time. As he stepped in to raise Basilio’s hand in victory. DeMarco slumped to the canvas. He was completely beaten. Basilio noted the obvious in his post-fight statements. He said: “Tony set too fast a pace. I had to pull this one out of the fire.” Later, the champ disclosed he had hurt his right hand on Tony’s head in the second round. The extent bi The injury was not known. Despite the lacing Carmem took in the middle he said: "Tony began to tire in the fifth and I thought Lhad him. He wasn’t punching so hard. Not as hard as he did the last time.”

Shift Toledo Franchise To Wichita, Kas. COLUMBUS. O. (INS) — Baseball's bonus baby rule and television are the main legislative matters today when financially-dis-tressed delegates to the minor league convention vote on amendments to the major-minor league agreement. Meanwhile, the problem of what to do with the Toledo, 0.. franchise of the Milwaukee Braves was settled early today when the American Association moved the club to Wichita, Kas. The Western League, to which Wichita belonged, now must find a replacement for its franchise. Miami, still seeking a Trtple-A club after Milwaukee’s efforts to move the Toledo franchise to the Florida city failed Wednesday, hopes to lure Syracuse of the International League. Sid Salomon, St. Louis insurance executive, is negotiating for the deal. The controversial bonus question is the one figured to stir up the biggest storm. Under the present rule, major league clubs who pay a young "phenom” more than $4,000 for signing a contract, must keep him on their varsity roster for two years. Charleston planned to introduce a proposal for the elimination of the rule. ** The Nashville team in the Southern Association, a Cincinnati Redleg affiliate, had a proposal ready which would establish an "unrestricted” draft. This means that any player who had been in the minors one season —bonus baby or not-—would be subject to draft by any higher classification clubs. Such a move, it is felt, would discourage high bonus payments, which the minor and poorer major league clubs contend prevent them | from signing talent on an equal basis with wealthier teams. A three-quarters vote is necessary for adoption and anything okayed by the minors must be approved by their big league brothers at their meeting next week in Chicago. Observers at the convention believe that the present bonus rule is the one most likely to remain on the books. The minors planned to make their annual pitch for the restrictions on the television and radio broadcasting of major league games into their territory. An amendment submitted by George Trautman, president of the National Association in conjunction with the minors’ executive committee, would bar major league clubs from authorizing commerci-ally-sponsored broadcasts or telecasts of their games more than 75 miles from their own park. Last year the minors asked for a 50 mile limit and they were rejected by the majors and their proposed new amendment hardly appears to have much more of a chance.

Deer Season Opens In Indiana Today INDIANAPOLIS (INS) — Deer hunters, wearing watches synchronized to central standard time, today invaded 13 designated counties for the beginning of Indiana’s three-day deer season. The season opened at 6:47 CST today, will re-open at 6:48 CST Friday and begin its last stand at 6:49 CST, Saturday. The sun is scheduled to set at 4:21 CST each day. During the daylight (or specified hours in event of overcast), hunters carrying special $5 deer license in addition to the regular $2 hunting license may bag one buck with at least one-forked antler using ■rifle slugs for 12, 16 and 20 gauge shot guns. At sundown Wednesday, archers ended a month long hunt through a section of Tippecanoe River state park. A total of 470 archers brought down a two reported and two unreported bucks this year. Those figures are considerably better than the 1954 report of one deer for 186 arrowists. Whether the riflemen’s luck will improve as much remains to be seen in their three-day tramp through Bartholomew, Brown, Jackson, Martin, Owen, Harrison, Crawford, Perry, Orange, Morgan, Moiiroe, Lawrence and Washington counties. Last year, 3,396 hunters with rifles took out after gne-fbrk-ant-lered bucks and bagged 68'. Approximately the same number of hunters is expected to purchase license fpr the three-day shoot with 6,800 deer still loose in Indiana’s forests and woodlands. Buffalo, N.
